I submitted a complaint to Amway regarding an *** 's misconduct and abuse of platform. After stating meeting this *** on a dating app, he immediately shifted the conversation into a sales pitch. He repeatedly pressured me to buy products to buy products and, without my consent, shared my personal information with other individuals he mentors. As a result, I have since been harassed by other ***'s under his mentorship. In addition to his inappropriate recruitment tactics, I also witnessed a meeting between him and a mentee where he made demeaning and sexist comments, including - "If she doesn't cook and clean I not my wife" - "I'm looking for someone with at least a B cup" -"If she doesn't sleep with me at least twice a week, she can go" It was disturbing to hear someone in a leadership position speak this way, especially while mentoring others. His behavior promotes a culture of misogyny, manipulation, and exploitation, and it reflects a clear abuse of Amway's platform. Unfortunately, after this reported Amway failed to do anything about it and allowed this man to continue using the Amway name to abuse, exploit and manipulate others. Amway is showing that they support and encourage this kind of disgusting behavior by allowing this *** to keep his business and platform within the company. Show a blatant regard for the values and reputation Amway seemingly holds. Amway supports and protects abusers.

Im submitting this additional statement because I feel the public deserves to know that Amway is protecting and enabling an abuser by allowing him to continue operating through their platform, despite a serious misconduct complaint supported by evidence.This individual targeted me through a dating site under false pretenses, emotionally manipulated me, pressured me into joining Amway, and used coercive tactics that included verbal threats, gaslighting, and emotional abuse. I reported this behavior directly to Amway and provided supporting documentation.Since speaking out, multiple other women have come forward sharing similar experiences involving the same IBO including emotional manipulation, financial pressure, and being exploited under the guise of business or romantic interest. This is a pattern of predatory behavior that Amway has now been made aware of.Yet despite the severity and repetition of these complaints, Amway has taken no visible action to suspend, discipline, or restrict this individual, who continues to operate and mentor others within the organization. By failing to act, Amway is not just turning a blind eye they are protecting someone with a known history of abuse.I am urging the BBB to hold Amway accountable for allowing this misconduct to continue unchecked and for failing to protect the people harmed by representatives of their business.Business Response

I am following up regarding the misconduct complaint I submitted against an Amway Independent Business Owner who targeted me under false pretenses, using a dating platform to build trust and manipulate me into joining the business. I provided clear details and evidence of emotional coercion, verbal threats, and abuse yet Amway has provided no resolution, update, or ************* this day, the individual remains linked to my account, continues to operate within Amway, and is actively mentoring others potentially teaching the same unethical tactics he used on me. This is unacceptable, dangerous, and reflects a serious lack of accountability on Amways ******* minimum, I am requesting the following:Immediate removal of this individual from my Amway account (disassociation and reassignment of sponsor).Suspension or disciplinary action that reflects the severity of the misconduct reported.Revocation of any mentorship or leadership privileges within Amway to prevent further harm to others.I want confirmation that these actions will be taken. If Amway continues to allow this person to operate unchecked, I will escalate this matter to additional consumer protection agencies and make the public aware. This is not just about my experience its about stopping a pattern of abuse within your organization.I expected at least basic accountability. So far, Ive received none.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Amways business conduct and rules administration told me they would take my complaint seriously and that they would act on ensuring the compliance with the rules of conduct. As far as I am aware Amway is still allowing this *** to operate under their name knowing that he is using coercion and manipulation tactics to threaten women into either joining, purchasing or bring new people into the business. Their lack of accountability and integrity on this matter has been disgraceful and disappointing. This *** should suspended or terminated as using a dating website to promote and exploit women is wrong. This *** has broken many rules in Amways rules of conduct but they continue to let him operate. Leaving me to believe that this is what Amway supports, allows and teaches.

Thank you for the follow-up. While I appreciate Amways acknowledgment, I do not consider this matter resolved. Their response only states that they are looking into it, with no details about steps taken or a timeline for resolution. I reported this individual for coercive behavior and manipulation that spanned several months. A vague answer with no accountability or transparency is not acceptable, especially given the seriousness of the concerns raised.
I request a clearer, substantive response from Amway regarding the status of the investigation, any actions taken, and what safeguards are in place to prevent this from happening to others.
Sincerely,

Subject: Complaint #******** and #******** - ****** *****You don't often get email from *************************************** Learn why this is importantHi Aireyana,
Although there is not action for Amway at this time, I am responding to complaint #******** and #********.
Amway has investigated ****** ***** complaint, which alleges that she was approached on a dating app and pressured to become an Amway Independent Business Owner (***).
Amway has a contract with every *** which, among other things, requires **** to follow certain standards when they present the Amway opportunity to prospective ***s. Amway also has a process in place for investigating complaints about conduct that does not comply with the *** contract.
In this case, Amway reached out to the parties involved on multiple occasions and carefully reviewed the information provided. However, we were unable to find any evidence supporting the allegations or indicating **** ******** non-compliance with the *** contract. To the contrary, it appears that **** ******* did not use the dating app for business purposes, that ****** ***** and **** ******* had romantic relationship that ended in February 2025, that any discussions of Shanias possible involvement in the Amway business took place after the romantic relationship had been established, and that the romantic relationship continued for some time after ****** expressed her lack of interest in the business.
Amway considers the matter closed at this time, but reserves the right to re-open it if new information emerges.
Sincerely,
****** ****

As a long-time customer and business owner with **********************, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent changes to your shipping charges and the delivery issues we have been experiencing.The new shipping policy, which includes a base fee of $4.49 plus an additional 4% of the purchase amount, places a significant burden on business owners. This policy seems to reflect a failure of Amways existing business model to adapt to the modern environment.Additionally, we have encountered several serious delivery problems. In gated communities, delivery personnel are unable to leave packages at the correct apartment doors, leading to packages being returned. For example, one customer experienced their package being delivered to the wrong address twice, requiring them to personally retrieve it from another location.These issues not only damage the trust in Amway's products and services but also significantly impact customer satisfaction. I urge ********************** to reconsider these policies and address the delivery problems to maintain trust and ensure satisfaction for both customers and business owners.Business Response

Amway has investigated Munju Paiks complaint dated August 25, 2024.
The complaint references Flat Rate + Shipping program, which is Amways new shipping program designed to better support Independent Business Owners (IBOs) and customers. *********************** Flat Rate + Shipping program allows new IBOs to receive free shipping for a year on the first order placed each month. All IBOs receive a flat rate plus a fee of 4% order value. Customers receive a lower flat rate on all orders. In addition, the new shipping fee policies are designed to apply a more accurate and fairer fee based on the actual order.
Delivery to destinations like apartments, condominiums and gated communities is a challenge for all delivery services and agents. Amway continues to partner with carriers with significant experience in these types of deliveries. Our **************** team is well-trained and very capable of helping anyone with delivery issues reach an amicable resolution. ************ may contact **************** with his concerns.
Amway considers the matter closed at this time, but is ready to further assist ************ with any additional questions.Initial Complaint

I have been ordering for 10 years now as an IBO. I placed my monthly order on April 24th to arrive early in May. Only 9 of my 35 products arrived so I called to ask what they plan to do about it. I was told by ******* they had to file a complaint with the carrier and then they would contact me in 24 hours which they did not. My second call 4 days later resulted in me being put on hold for 20 minutes before being hung up on. My THIRD call was over 60 MINUTES long and after requesting more than a half dozen times to speak with a supervisor, I was told no (lame excuses like high call volume, it's our policy, etc.). I was put on hold for this call over a dozen times and all they wanted to leave me with is a case number. In a VERY clear case of the carrier being the issue, I am SHOCKED that Amway did nothing to uphold what was, until recently, an IMPECCABLE customer service record. I asked them to send me the 26 products (roughly $1000 worth) I was owed and deal with their carrier issues without holding up me and my customers who wanted their product. I FINALLY got on the line with a supervisor (*****) and when he was going through all the previous notes, he told me that someone FALSIFIED NOTES that my package was delivered. EVEN IF AFTER THIS, THEY DID NOTHING TO RESOLVE THEIR ISSUE AT THE END OF THE 1 HOUR AND 10 MINUTE CALL.Business Response

I was an IBO and after a bit more than a year decided not to pursue the business opportunity further. Having been an IBO and loving the products, I decided to convert to being a preferred customer so I could continue purchasing products at the discounted price as was an option. I clicked on the "resign my business" option since I was quitting the business aspect, and read through/signed multiple disclaimers all referring to being a preferred customer, requirements that still applied, etc. However, as I went to log back the next day my account gave an error and said I needed to call customer service to re-activate, which I did. To my surprise, when calling I was told that because I resigned my business, I no longer had the preferred customer option and could only be a regular customer, which means I'll have to pay 10% higher prices for the rest of my life. I was told as well that it is a system thing, and that they have no way to fix/change it on their end. I was STUNNED as I have only had a positive experience with Amway (even as someone that didn't experience major success in sales/expanding my business and decided to walk away) and have had ZERO complaints with the organization until now. For their disclaimers to all refer to preferred customer status, for nothing to indicate that I was waiving that option by resigning, to find out after the fact and be told there is no way for them to fix it is extremely disappointing to put it mildly. For everything else that has always been up front and has given me no surprises at every step in my entire journey as an IBO, to have this come at the end is saddening as this doesn't feel like the Amway I experienced during my time as an IBO at all.Business Response

Amway has investigated ******************* complaint dated April 17, 2024.
The complaint references Amways Preferred Customer Program, which was designed to allow Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) who wished to purchase products for their own use instead of selling them to continue doing so as a customer with preferred pricing. Entry into the Preferred Customer Program was limited to IBOs who registered with Amway on or before December 31, 2021, and who chose to end their IBO Contract and become a Preferred Customer instead.
***************** registered with Amway as an IBO on December 17, 2022; therefore, upon resigning his IBO Contract, he was not eligible to become a Preferred Customer.However, he was (and still is) eligible to become a Registered Customer and purchase products from *********************** website or from an IBO.
Amway verified that the resignation process that ****************** went through does not include an offer to become a Preferred Customer. When the link to Resign Your Business or Become a Customer is clicked, a statement appears on the screen stating: Resign your business. Completion of the form below will complete your resignation and end your contract with Amway. This action cannot be undone.The IBO then clicks the confirmation box that says, I understand and confirm I wish to resign my business. There is no mention of the Preferred Customer option.
********************** considers the matter closed at this time but is ready to further assist ****************** with any additional questions he may have.Initial Complaint

on 10/31/23, I received an email that appeared to be spam from Amway about changing our password from a personal account that seemed suspicious (as we had logged in 4 days prior). Our account was promptly locked, and it is well past the 4-6 week period when we were told this would be resolved.There is simply no way to communicate with Amway regarding this, and we have been IBOs with the company since the late 1990's.We would like our IBO reinstated immediately and for Amway to contact us as soon as possible,Business Response
